What group contributed to spreading Jewish ideas by translating the Hebrew Bible into Greek?
The Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) has had a vast influence on the Western world, in areas of belief, law, morals, and practices. For the most part, non-Jews didn't read Hebrew. It was through translations that the Tanakh found its way into the wider world. Its Greek translation was the first non-Hebrew text of the Tanakh (c.270 BCE). Since Greek was an international language for centuries, people had ready access to the Tanakh once it was available in Greek.
Which group translated the Hebrew bible into greek spreading Jewish ideas?
The Septuagint is a translation of the Jewish Bible into Greek made sometime in the years 285–247 BCE, at the request of King Ptolemy II Philadelphus by a group of 70 (or possibly 72) scholars in Alexandria, Egypt. Considerable mythology surrounds this translation, including the miracle story that all 70 scholars worked independently and came up with identical translations. Whatever the case may be, both the rabbis of the Talmud and the early Christian Church considered the Septuagint to be a legitimate translation that was acceptable for use in worship.
